OK I enjoy laughing and one of my favorite women comediennes is none other than Ellen DeGeneres. I'm so glad she now has The Ellen DeGeneres Show daily. I'm glad to see that ELLEN airs in my hometown area on the local CBS channel. Although I missed most of the first season I at least got to see some of the reruns that summer. I'm thankful that her show has been renewed for another year. Ellen has a very big following! Ellen is also very involved with animal refuge and helping people especially those from her original hometown area of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. CONGRATS to Ellen for receiving more Emmy's! I couldn't wait to see her host the Oscars on 25 February '06 AND SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB SHE DID! PLUS--she and her show were nominated again for the Daytime Emmy's each year AND WON! I'm glad she recuperated from her back injury--I know how painful that can be! Ellen and Portia were married on Saturday 16 August 2008 in their home in California--CONGRATS to them! Ellen also received another People's Choice Award! AND Ellen and her show have received more Daytime Emmy nominations for this year! I don't know how she does but she has also joined the judges on American Idol. I loved Rosie O'Donnell's program. I too am a television and movie junkie. Her interview on Primetime with Diane Sawyer about the Florida adoption laws was wonderful. I hope she can help the gay couples in Florida change the legislation banning their adopting needy children. AND I was so sad to hear that she and her partner Kelli who went to San Francisco to be married have split. See what Rosie is up to these days by checking out Rosie and read her daily blog--I do! Rosie joined "The View" in September 2006 replacing the wonderful Meredith Viera! Rosie said she had only wanted to work during the school year and was given a contract for one year. Her online blog continues! Rosie appeared several times on Cyndi Lauper's 2007 True Colors Tour--as well as the 2008 and 2009 tours! Many folks have asked about Rosie's tattoo--well she had hers done by Anil Gupta! Several YouTube sites have recently been seen--if you like Rosie you might want to check these out: Rosie O'Donnell meets Elmo following 9/11/01 Rosie's Last Show Video Montage a collection of her shows With special thanks to Rosie and her website I have also been turned onto Ross Mathews-BLOGtastic! better known as Ross the Intern. He is so full of life and love and is now getting more recognition on TV having been on with Jay Leno and The View! More recently I've seen him on NBC's game show: 1 vs 100. Whoopi Goldberg joined the ladies on "The View" as the moderator so why not check out Whoopi now to see what else she is doing! Oprah's program is on at the same time as Ellen so I tape it often--check out: Oprah.com. I don't think there is anyone who doesn't like Celine Dion or her music. She finished appearing 5 nights a week in Las Vegas at Caesar's Palace--and has finished a world tour. AND Celine is returning to Vegas in March 2011 for 3 years! I'd love to go see her but the tickets will no doubt be very expensive. Dolly Parton has a wonderful site! One of my favorite actresses is none other than Dana Delany and there are many other websites about her too. She did a wonderful job portraying Colleen McMurphy on TV's "China Beach" and is now appearing on "Desperate Housewives" on ABC. Marie Osmond is one of my favorite ladies. Watching her grow up on TV was interesting. She has done a lot in her life so please check out Marie Osmond. I was sorry to hear her radio show had been canceled but she has announced that she will haev a TV talk show starting in 2009. If you travel as much as I do and you have pets--I came across a wonderful website that will help you plan your travel routes as well as provide you a listing of pet friendly hotels. Visit Pets Welcome. What a shock I had when reading my paper to see that Maggie's friend, Rosemary Clooney, had died at the age of 74. She was one of my favorite singers and I've seen her perform a few times on stage. On the 4th of July 2002 during the annual Concert on the Lawn in DC the orchestra leader told everyone of her passing and how much she meant to him. He asked their forgiveness as he was about to show a clip of the last time she sang on his stage. AND then there she was--singing "God Bless America" and bringing chills to my old body. I'd like to invite you to visit Rosemary Clooney to learn more about this wonderful singer and true friend to many. You might also be glad to hear that the Rosemary Clooney House has opened in her hometown of Maysville, Kentucky! I'd also like to invite you to visit The Rosemary Clooney Palladium to learn more about her! Bette Midler has always been one of my favorites and she opened a show in Las Vegas replacing Celine Dion which will soon be ending if not already. She made another new CD this time with songs by Peggy Lee which is very good. She also did a wonderful CD of Rosemary Clooney songs. Cher Returns! live on stage at Caesars Palace Las Vegas on 6 May 2008 is about to end if it hasn't already! I remember Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, and other Country & Western singers from my youth. My favorite current C&W singer is Reba McIntyre. Her new television comedy series is good too BUT I only get to see it when I'm home in NY as the Richmond cable company doesn't carry the WB channel. Take a moment to look at her site: Reba Review.
